Thank you…for sharing new-found info (for me) and many others, I’m sure….on the health hazards of air fresheners. Have read that on rare occasions, plug-ins could be considered a fire hazard also. Great job on your in-depth article.

Thank you for commenting Danny. I will be sure to look into the information you shared concerning Ozone. I know that in the spa, these are in the mag lamps that estheticians use to keep the steam sanitary for clients but I didn’t know that it could be a potential health hazard. Thank you for helping to spread the word. – Britta

I agree completely about most air fresheners. That’s why we developed JulAir. It’s made with natural essential oils including Australian Tea Tree oil which leaves the space really fresh and clean.

It really works and disappears within a couple minutes after neutralizing any odors in the bathroom, pet areas and more.

Please check out http://www.julair.com for more information. Thanks.

You forgot to mention that research that indicates that Phthalates may be a factor in a lot of different cancers. I keep well away from any type hormone disruptor as there is major research showing that these type of chemicals cause damage.

Most people buy air freshners to “clean” their air but i always think that air freshned air (with scent) actually just smells worse. I agree with the epa advice that people should only use homemade odour cleaners and air purifiers.

One thing that you should be aware of is to not for an air purifier that uses ozone – as this toxic and may also lead to health damges. Try to only look at HEPA and Carbon based filter purifiers althought they will cost more.

Thanks for highlighting this issue – not enough bloggers take the issue of air freshners seriously.

Thanks
Danny
